Pronunciation of Classical Tibetan
Hi, TheLastNeanderthal, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia.

I just dropped by to ask: is there a reference we can cite for the Classical Tibetan pronunciations you added to the Old Chinese article? Kanguole 22:51, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. And there might be. I actually got the pronunciation of the written Classical Tibetan mostly from "clues" on other Wikipedia articles, such as Tibetan languages and Tibetan script, so feel free to find an accurate source(s) to cite, or correct them if I'm wrong. Actually, come to think of it, the beginning of Tibetan languages#Historical phonology looks like it's about Old Tibetan, rather than Classical Tibetan.

 * Oh, but we can't trust Wikipedia. They let anyone in here!  In that case, it might be better to go back to the WT forms that were there before, which were taken from Norman's Chinese, p. 13.  Kanguole 01:02, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll do that. TheLastNeanderthal (talk) 02:28, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
